"Boba Fett and Litchy, you can save your righteousness, you are not convincing me. If you were really so averse to the violence of war you would not be playing this game, or even reading this thread. When the first "keeper of the morals" made his post all the "me too's" chime in with their "Yeah, you're right, war sucks, yuk" Of course war sucks, but every single person that plays this game has an interest in warfare in some level, anyone who denies that is nothing but a hypocrite." Finnish people fought against Russia. They did it well and I am supposed to be proud of my origin. You would probably call them good soldiers..but for what? Did they have a chance to choose otherwise? They were being shot or put in jail if they refused to fight. Russian force was overpowering and the fight seemed desperate but standing against that force can be seen from several point of views. Were they good soldiers because they were stupid enough to die for nothing (because the fight seemed desperate)? Were they good soldiers because they did what they were forced to do? Were they good soldiers because they believed in something that they were raised to believe in and fought for it? You seem to apreciate troops like SS and such. Well yeah, they sure were good soldiers because they were fanatic and stupid enough to be ready to lose their life for the probably most stupid cause that one can think of. But hey, it's nothing wrong with the thing that people dicuss about the effectiveness of killing. It's just so cool. I hope that my grandfather killed as many Russians as possible so that I could tell to my friends what a killing spree he was. My grandfather wasn't just a man that believed everything he was told..he was a fightning unit without a personality like the rest of them. Now we all can start talking about our relatives and how many people they have killed. Who has the relative who has killed the most people? That member must be so respected after he tells us all about the fightning and killing achievements of his relatives, eh?

For some reason this topic is rediculous to me. We are talking about real war and real men dying. It's not a god damn game where there are best players and such. They were killing each others for gods' sake. So the question "who was/were the best killing machine" is childish. They did what they had to do and that's it.

I don't really think that they run for cover When they really take cover because of enemy fire, they just stay down. Gun is always destroyed if they abandon it.

Wow, this topic really got you guys excited I agree that one shouldn't pay too much attention to things like this but I wasn't asking this in order to complain. I just thought that one of you guys could tell me a simple reason for this as some of you seem to know eveything worth knowing (and more) about WW2. I wasn't able to check out the earlier topics about this issue as my search engine won't work. Oh well, I let it rest. Thx for trying to help anyway :cool:

Uh Oh..it doesn't..oh well

"Try pushing it down real good. My video card has an alarming tendency to get a bit loose in the slot, causing the dreaded 3 beep error code as well. " He's right. I had the same problem. I didn't have a clue what to do but my friend recognised the problem immediately and just pushed the graphic card which had got loose in the slot. Problem fixed

I don't quite understand why a MG42 LMG unit can't run. SS riffle squad has the same gun in their group and it can run. Seems silly that I can't make a separate LMG unit run like a riffle squad with the same gun. :confused:

People have been wondering why artillery is more effective during winter battles. My grandfather (who was an officer in the war between Finland and Russia) said that this was due to the fact that a shell causes much more fragments when hitting a hard winter ground (by this I mean fragments which are on top of the surface and thus considered harmful). When hitting soft soil, a shell penetrates the ground and so the power of the explosion and the fragments lose some of their effectiveness as they partly concentrate below surface. Naturally this doesn't always mean that using artillery would be ideal during winter. Thick and soft snow can dramatically lower the lethality of an artillery barrage due to the reasons I wrote about.

Excellent Thank you for the information. Fett [This message has been edited by Boba_Fett (edited 03-09-2001).]

I have tried several times and days to enter the site of boots and tracks. My computer always says that "connection refused". Same thing with TGN scenario depot. Any ideas why this happens? Has boot and tracks been shut down? [This message has been edited by Boba_Fett (edited 03-08-2001).]
